Stuffed Pasta – Screwed!!!

Screwed Pasta Salad:
Created a new dish (blunder), which still needs a sincere ‘Title’(or stuffed pasta for the time being)!!! This recipe goes to my Kitchen Mishaps Event.:)
It was way past dinner time and I was pretty hungry plus very sleepy! Why? why I do this, what on earth I was thinking?? Took a pot of water. Now the pasta goes into the pot…the pot goes on to the stove, and the cook(myself) goes for a little nap!!! Good news, I saved the pasta.:)
Now, comes the creative mood’, smeared the pasta with tomato pickle’ (Yes, not that bad idea at all). Stuffed the shells with sliced eggs(Yep, looks good huh). Yes, it was, all until I planned to decorate it with Parmesan cheese and microwave! Cheese never melted, Pasta went dry and Eggs spluttered!!! I was all bananas (why it should be always nuts).
Each time, threw some more cheese and heated it…tried and tried (until I got tired). But the resulted dish, remained the same! And then what??? The food was pitched to the bin. End of story.:) Still I wonder…what I was aiming for, the whole time.:)
Lesson: Never attempt a new dish when you are terribly hungry or sleepy!!!
Ingredients & Method:
“THE RECIPE SUCKS”.
The initial things looks awesome..wish you got it right…nice entry for the event though
Happy holidays Malar !!
Lol … It’s always good to know others have problems in the kitchen, too
Oh, Malar! Sorry that happened! Believe me, you’re not alone; I always have to throw my creation away. The photo of your pasta looks so good though, lol!
The pics looks great; I wish you got the best of it too..But hey that was a funny read and I loved it!!
Picture looks too good malar,but try next time, am sure it will turn out great with some other ingredients in the same way…Nice one,was good reading ur experience in the kitchen..
That was funny althought it was not for you at that moment. Anyways, you had something to munch on for dinner
:) Loved your write up.
Chitchat
good read….am glad to know that I am not the only one who messes up in the kitchen
For me it looks perfect…..i don’t know about the taste.All the best for your another attempt.
Lol…perfect enrty for the event though..
looks awesome and nice…very nice clicks!
Dear malar
With so much of Parmesan into the bin? It is hurting me!!! I would have eaten it by Belisama!! (Asterix)
Like most of the people here, I dont know much about cheese. But I feel you should have used a soft cheese, Parmesan as such is very difficult to melt, if at all..should use oven in grill or convective mode.(I know…I know you know all these
Hummm I like that adjective ” all Banana”..I am also feeling all Guava because I will be cooking a gala dinner for a Keralite couple with the hubby gone vegeteran…Bongs and Mallus going Vege is also a case of “gone all Banana”
Enjoy thoroughly the last week of 2009, because it wont come again
The pics looks great…wish u a very happy new year….
Nice entry Malar! When I saw the pics, I couldn’t believe it was a mishap. Maybe the pasta was to dry and I cant see it in the pic.
Happy holidays!
Wow..awesome dear….Pass that plate to me…

It seems Malar, you are in love with eggs.
LOL, if I am tired I didn’t move even a spoon…. But looks good pasta smeared with pickle!
Hi Malar,
Just wanted to thank you for letting me know that you’ll participate in my giveaway, can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with. BTW, I’m still working on your kitchen mishaps. I have too many, ha ha!
Its looks prefect eventhough u says its was a mishaps..looks fantastic..
I feel that it looks good dear, the pasta and eggs are cooked right, may be we can dunk everything in sauce and have it
The photoes look great , althought your little story about how you made it had me rolling with laughter, hubby was left thinking i had gone mad in the head heheh. But thats life, you have good days when you feel like you can cook like goumet chef and the next day you are left thinking you are the wost cook in the world
oh and a happy new year!!
U kno I m trying to find atleast 1 blunder in my kitchen but m not
…. the first pic luks gud though
looks awesome!!!
Perfect for the event.Wish u a very Happy and prosperous New Year!
I was about to say same pinch when I was reading about the use of tomato pickle..But good that I read till the end. My tomato pickle dosa turned out well though..
Your presentation of the recipe(both ways) is cheeky..You should have saved it for April.
the photos look so good..sad you had to throw it all..but the write up was hilarious..I could actually imagine you doing it..;)
I could eat it anyway if desperately hungry
Awesome one looks so good and yummy .. Wish i could have right away…
Going bananas ??
with all that parmesan in the bin it’s hurting me..i could have chewed it if i was that hungry…..or would have sprinkled water over the stuffed shells put in a covered bowl n MWed again …but to the bin ???
SIN !!
heh heh, so agree with your lesson! I have screwed many dishes by cooking them when I was super-hungry. I just wish I had taken pictures so I could atleats participate to your event
I loved the write-up Malar. Was hilarious! I’ve done some things like this and have learned not to start cooking when I’m hungry but to eat out or get take out or eat something very simple like curd rice and pickle. A lesson that I learned the hard way.
Pasta looking so good,want to taste right now
Actually the pasta looks really good in the pic
Didn’t believe it until I read your post.. Anyways, that was an interesting mishap to share 
Happy New Year Malar!
Bin had a lucky day….what else to say….Next time try to turn on the Oven the moment u put the pasta for boiling…waiting for more mishaps from u….ha.hha..hhaa….it’s your event dear so I guess little obligation to post atleast few…just kidding….U could have eaten the pasta just like that….
